Seven Things Never To Include On Your CV by Merlissa(f): 3:25pm On Feb 10, 2016 |
The most important tool you have toward getting that new job is your CV. It tells a potential employer who you are and should impart your potential value to the prospective employer. It is the potential employer’s first impression of you and needs to present you in the best light. Accordingly, there are a few things that should never be put on a resume: http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/seven-things-never-to-include-on-your-resume.html 8 Likes 1 Share |

Bur wait oo. What's the implications of extending the years of experience on your CV. Like 6months to 1yr. And also changing your past position to another but still on the same field e.g from inventory officer to Accounts Officer. And being able to prove it during interviews. Does this have any implications and does employers usually verify from past employers? |

Anthos: Here is the grand rule/advice I give to people: If it is not going to get you the JOB, do not include it! ALWAYS include what will get you the job! If your date of birth, state of origin, religion, hobbies, interests, awards etc will get you the job, please include it. YOU KNOW WHY? The job advert may say applicants may be between a certain age range so why not include your age (ONLY IF YOU FIT THE RANGE) and win the Applicant Tracking System (which may be the first filtering call) and then tell the employer you are fit. Same applies to being a Christian or a Muslim (if the job advert specifies) being active in school with evidence (awards) being from the South South (tribe/state) etc... Most cases, the employer filters the massive CVs with the ATS before actually taking a look at the surviving ones and so does big firms like Total, Exxon, PwC, Accenture etc www.acegoals.com |

TaymmyT: One thing you should know is that employers just have connections and staff in the HR Team that do verify every info on your documents when they are sure you are fit for the position. That's one of the reasons why it is advised not to burn bridges when leaving a company. Mostly this is done for more experienced and sensitive roles and not just everybody. But by no means should you lie to your potential employer, they may always find out. Only use the Job Title officially given to you by your previous company. But if you still need to gun for positions which is not your job title but similar in nature, this is where your career summary can come in or your competencies/skills. Always do well to mention 'Account', 'Accounting', 'Accounts' etc if that is the line you want to venture, stylishly but naturally include them. I also do advice: when writing a CV, have three things in mind... 1) Your present job, 2) Your aspiring job 3) Your achievements so far in your career. These three make up for a good CV and what employers would love to see and also what most recruiters program ATS Softwares to note/track. |
